Valve solutions for the solar energy industry
All signs are pointing towards
growth in the solar energy
sector. The world market for
the operation and servicing of
photovoltaic power stations
will see significant growth in
the coming years. According
to various studies, the installed
capacity is set to triple worldwide
by 2020.
Valve solutions for the solar
energy industry
On account of the variety of
processes, process media and the
associated supply and disposal
systems, a wide range of different
solutions are required for the
individual production steps in the
area of valves, measurement and
control systems. This is primarily
due to the different quality and
purity requirements as well as the
flow rates required.
The materials range from
polypropylene (PP) and poly
vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to ultra
pure and resistant perfluoroalkoxy
(PFA). As well as various plastics,
components made of stainless
steel are also used depending on
the process step.
GEMÜ is able to cover this
broad range of requirements
comfortably with its extensive
product range.
In addition to standard
solutions, customers can also
be provided with individual,
customized solutions thanks to
the perfectly coordinated modular
system.
Depending on the valve
required, GEMÜ offers various
function and actuation types.
Completely metal-free equipment
and valves that are manufactured
in the in-house cleanroom plant in
Switzerland are also available.
Innovative valves for a variety
of applications
The GEMÜ iComLine series is
based on the globe valve design,
has a cavity-filled design and
boasts a long service life. The
main advantage is the compact
design and the resulting low space
requirement. This can be further
optimized by using what are
referred to as block solutions. In
this case, the iComLine valves are
combined to form multi-functional
valve blocks.
In addition to the individual
valves, further components such as
sensors, check valves or electrical
position indicators can also be
integrated into these applicationspecific
units.
Another innovative product is
the GEMÜ CleanStar "solar valve".
This diaphragm valve, which
also features the tried and tested
GEMÜ seal system, impresses with
its high quality and performance
capability.
Thanks to its cavity-filled
design and the various types of
design, it is suitable for a variety
of processes in the solar energy
industry. The SmartLine products
in this valve range in particular
combine excellent performance
with the corresponding costefficiency.
They are therefore
preferably used in chemical supply
systems as well as wet process
equipment.
The aforementioned range is
rounded off by sensor solutions for
flow and pressure measurement,
accessories such as tubes and
fittings, electrical position
indicators and controllers as well
as stainless steel valves and further
metal valves with plastic linings.
